Al Q's fav networks: MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN; Al Q hates FoxNews
In a memorandum made public by the US military's Combating Terrorism Center on Thursday, Bin Laden asked for advice on exploiting the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks."We need to benefit from this event and get our messages to the Moslems and celebrate the victory that they achieved. We need to restore their confidence in their nation and motivate them. We should also present our just cause to the world, especially to the European people," he said. Bin Laden suggested contacting Al-Jazeera.  ... an Arab news network headquartered in Qatar, notorious for carrying al-Qaeda blurbs. The name means the Peninsula,as in the Arabian Peninsula. In recent years it has settled in to become slightly less biased than MSNBC, in about the same category as BBC or CBS... "You can point out to them that this way they will be showing the other opinion," he said. But he also wondered if it would be good to work with an American channel, suggesting CBS as "close to being unbiased". Bin Laden added that the organization should approach a British journalist, Robert Fisk  ...British journalistwho is invariably on the other side of any question. The logic of his prose is so shaky, the ideas so predictable, that he has given his name to the process of mocking a piece of poorly reasoned hackery. He was once beaten up by an Islamic mob and decided they had every right to thump him because he was so Western... of the Independent, and other news hounds to press home the message that the major powers would be better concentrating on climate change than pursuing al-Qaeda.... A US-born al-Qaeda front man, Adam Gadahn, wrote back to Bin Laden laying the merits or otherwise of using US news stations to mark the "Manhattan battle" as it is referred to in the memo. Fox News is dismissed because it "falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks neutrality too". "I used to think that MSNBC channel may be good and neutral a bit, but is has lately fired two of the most famous journalists -- Keith Olbermann and Octavia Nasser the Lebanese," wrote Gadahn.
